The Daily Mail has a chilling story about Russia’s burgeoning official youth movement, called (regrettably and appropriately) “Nashi”.

Others are calling it “Putin Jugend” for reasons which are quickly apparent. All that’s lacking so far is a pogrom.

Try to overlook the title but read the whole thing here. Then go read William Shirer or William Manchester and think about it awhile.
